For He Is An Englishman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All
He is an englishman
Boat
He is an englishman
For he himself has said it
And it's greatly to his credit
That he is an englishman
All
That he is an englishman
Boat
For he might have been a roosian
A french, or turk, or proosian
Or perhaps itali-an
All
Or perhaps itali-an
Boat
But in spite of all temptations
To belong to other nations
He remains an englishman
He remains an englishman
All
For in spite of all temptations
To belong to other nations
He remains an englishman
He remains an englishman
